Hello!
I’m Elysha, a designer based in the SF Bay Area 👩🏻💻
My Story
I’m a multidisciplinary designer passionate about human-centered visual design. Currently at NASA/JPL, I collaborate with scientists and engineers to streamline their workflows and make aerospace and STEM topics more accessible to the public.
With expertise in UX methodologies, graphic design, and branding, I thrive at the intersection of technology, creativity, and real-world constraints. I specialize in tailoring solutions to the unique needs of teams and users, co-creating thoughtful, impactful outcomes with meticulous craft in execution. At the heart of my work is a deep curiosity to understand people’s problems, a commitment to justice, and just a bit of optimism for the future. :)
Coaching budding creatives on the side, I find it deeply rewarding to learn from their unique perspectives and help them amplify their strengths. Otherwise, I nurture my creative practice through exploring nature, caffeinated drinks, hot cheetos, and subgenres in electronic music.
